["House of Shokoti" parts 1 & 2, "The Cat and the Spider" (the Kittrina episode), "A Bird in the Hand", "Battlecat" and "The Ancient Mirror of Avathar"]

Ah, but were Queen Valeena and Draka not replaced by a guy in a purple suit who'd have a hellavatime wiping his own bottom, since the comic was an adaptation of the cartoon, ja?

[Also, there's one fairly important other point of difference: "A Tale of Two Cities", as the title implied, involved two cities - Operon and Targa - in a state of Cold War, while "Slave City" simplified that to a wandering group of bandits mounting a coup d'etat on a single city.]

Ah I did not remember the other Melaktha episodes, but I should have.

However, I was sure the Slave City comic came before the cartoon episode because they didn't know about Zodac at the time (Lodar was originally Zodak and had to be changed manually because it went to print before they were told about Zodac). I guess that mistake could have happened at any time though. Those are indeed other differences, and I love them all on both sides of the fence. Also they gave a Native American design to Garn and Rana (renamed from Rhea--or the other way, whichever), which connects them while I don't think they were connected in the episode. And don't forget the Kobolds! I would love it if all these different elements could be combined in MOTUC as I did in a 200X fan fic so we could get that many figures. Probably never gonna happen though. Interestingly Queen Valeena's name was actually Queen Balina according to Busta Toons!

When it comes to the mini-comics characters that people are requesting I think Lodar is by far the most demanded followed by maybe Geldor. I can't imagine him not being done in MOTUC. If he was not made it would be a slap in the face to the mini-comics.

I Love Lodars character design. He just looks awesome and is extremely powerful, matching Heman in the Mini Comic. I really like him as a candidate for a MOTUC, There arent really many characters I want made from the mini comics, Lodar is one of them. He should totally come with that spiked mace on the cover of Slave City

Actually, I hate to say this, but I can see some broad similarities between Lodar's design and Mighty Spector's. Squint your eyes and you can see a little of Snake Eyes in both of them. I hope that the Horsemen will pronounce the differences in Lodar (the spikes, details on mask, total lack of yellow harness), but I suspect there will be some fan comparisons made when Lodar is ever added to MOTUC.

The thing I'm hoping for the most with Lodar is that they don't take his all-purple color scheme too seriously. I mean, they don't give him ANY color other than shades of purple (depending on the lighting around him). I don't mind his color being primarily purple, but I'd like it if his armor 'n such was black, as that seems to be the case in the comic, even though the lighting shows purple as well. We haven't had a minicomic character yet, so I'm hoping they don't try to put in that comic book shading that they try to do in some of the Marvel Universe figures. It just doesn't translate well...

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

If I could draw, I'd have Lodar kicking Melaktha around his gladiatorial arena...

if i could draw, i'd have melaktha pull out a big a** blaster gun & blow lodar right off eternia.
no lodar is a big favorite of mine that is a must for motuc. i can live without melaktha as a figure. but would want him to come out first if he did get made.

Great thread Eternian Poet. I'd buy a Lodar for sure. A great, dark villain he is... His bio could open some interesting perspectives as well. He should come with that mace, of course, and some big 'clip on' chains, like on the cover, so you could chain on of the good guys >:-)
